problems and issues

 

What is your issue?

What is the context and background

of your issue?

What is your ideal outcome?

Turn your problems into issues.

Problems need solutions.

Issues need understanding.

When you base your thinking

on the numbers, the theories,

instead of the people,

your solutions will be wrong.

Fear is antagonistic to creativity.

Reward works so much better

to encourage better work.

We may have concerns about

political leaders who are overly

experienced in politics, paradigms

of the past.

Who, then, are the young upcomers

capturing the public imagination,

offering well thought out ideas

for a future we would prefer?

it is the unwanted children, those 

who then live without the material, 

familial, spiritual necessities that every 

child ought to thrive within, who suffer 

the most when women are forced to be 

brood mares against their desires or 

their very real needs. Or do you have 

some very good reason to enjoy the 

prospect of children suffering?

you do understand children need - 

food, shelter, security, pretty 

constant care, people who show 

love and concern, education even 

in the very micro sense of learning 

the basic ways to take care of themselves, 

and so much more

Can you understand that many, many 

people are not in a position to take care 

of those needs, that they may be at the 

very edge of what they can manage, 

that they don’t see this “gift” as anything 

but a terrible burden

and can you understand that pregnancy 

is far from a gift, that there are so very 

many things that can go horribly wrong, 

that some pregnancies disallow for the 

pregnant person to do the things they need 

to for their lives and the lives of others 

already dependent on them

If you are so concerned about these 

theoretical children with whom you have 

no responsibility or knowledge perhaps 

you could address THEIR real needs – 

not your phony morality

And consider the very real pain of birth 

when you speak of ripping infants from 

the womb – you have no idea, do you, 

of what you speak

there is a vast difference between a 

forming unborn without actual 

connections or realization of life and 

a person who can speak and act in their 

own interests. So, yes, I support assisted 

suicide, but certainly not encouraged or 

forced or murder. And it’s not that I am 

speaking of doing away with ongoing 

pregnancies from an outside interference 

(like some people insist on outside interference 

to prevent ending pregnancies). I am 

speaking of allowing potential mothers to 

make the best choice for themselves and 

their potential children, because they are the 

ones who know their circumstances and 

have to deal with the consequences. 

As for being free to choose – have you heard 

of rape or other forms of coercive sex. And, 

of course, there are all those pregnancies that 

become problematic even if reproduction 

was the goal when she engaged in those activities.

And, whether you can grasp this or not, 

due to lack of appropriate sex education, 

there are young women who honestly 

don’t understand the potential consequences 

of these actions they were convinced by 

young men they really ought to engage in.

Because of being the means of reproduction 

as it were, women suffer in cruelly unnecessary ways.

I often wonder why it seems that we 

over-value the "conservative" view, act as 

if our arguments and defaults have to cater 

to those specious values.
